2021高考英语二轮总练习阅读理解精选〔05〕及解析ATwo brothers, Herbert and James, lived with their mother and a cat named Edgar. James was particularly devoted to the cat, and when he had to leave town for several days, he left Herbert careful instructions about the pet’s c are. At the end of his first day away, James telephoned his brother, “How is Edgar〞“Edgar is dead.〞 Herbert answered. There was a pause. Then James said, “Herbert, you’re insensitive (漠然旳). You know how close I was to Edgar. You should have broken the news to me slowly. When I asked about Edgar tonight, you should have said, ‘Edgar’s on the roof , but I have called the fire department to get him down.’ And tomorrow when I called, you could have said the firemen were having trouble getting Edgar down, but you were hopeful they would succeed. Then when I called the third time, you could have told me that the firemen have done their best, but unfortunately Edgar had fallen off the roof and was at the veterinarian’s (兽医站). Then when I called the last time, you could have said that although everything possible had been done for Edgar, he had died. That’s the way a sensitive man would hav e told me about Edgar.

It was based on the music called rhythm and blues that was performed by African American musicians.Early rock and roll singers developed their own kinds of music. Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, the Beach Boys, and Bob Dylan were the most popular rock and roll musicians in the early 1960’s. All were American. Then, in 1964, a new rock and roll group from England invaded America: the Beatles.Some people say the Beatles’ music shook America like an earthquake. The Beatles changed rock and roll forever. Their early songs were influenced by American rock and roll musicians, including Chuck Berry. But the Beatles looked different and sounded different from any musical group be-fore them.The Beatles released their first album in the United States in 1964, when all of the top five records in America were b y the Beatles. In 1967, they released an album called “Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.〞 It was one of the first “concept〞 albums. That is, all the songs were linked by a common story or idea. The popularity of the Beatles led the way for more rock and roll bands from England to become popular in America. The Rolling Stones was the most important of these bands. The Rolling Stones is one of the few groups from the 1960’s that is still performing and recording today. In 1965, the group recorded one of its most famous songs, “Satisfaction〞.The musical instrument most linked to rock and roll is the guitar. Experts say Jimi Hendrix was one of the most influential guitar players in rock and roll during the late 1960’s. His “Purple Haze〞 was liked by many people.By the 1970’s, rock and roll music became known as rock music. It expanded into many new forms. For example, there was country rock, hard rock, acid rock, and heavy metal rock. Punk rock, jazz rock, and glitter rock.In the mid dle 1970’s, experts say rock music regained some of the energy of early rock and roll. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band became popular with their album “Born to Run〞. Springsteen’s music was like the lively rock and roll music of the early nineteen-sixties. Many of his songs were about social issues. He sang about the effects of unemployment and the war in Vietnam.59. The main topic of this passage is _______.A. the history of American musicB. the development of rock and roll musicC. the famous rock and roll groupsD. the new forms of rock and roll music60.

From the passage, we can know that _______.A. one of the Rolling Stones’ albums was called “con cept〞B. the Beatles and the Rolling Stones became popular at the same timeC. rock and roll music had many different forms at the beginningD. rock and roll music probably came from African American musicCVilla Nicoletta, Genuine RelaxationSomewhere i n the world, there’s a place where stress isn’t allowed and peace and genuine relaxation are the only demands of the day. If you could go there, you would thoroughly enjoy yourself. There are not too many places in the world like this, but this is one of t hem. It’s luxurious. It’s ultra-private.Welcome to Villa NicolettaVilla Nicoletta is a 4-bedroom luxury villa and an oasis(绿洲) of rest and rejuvenation〔恢复活力〕in a land of unspoiled peace.

Protect wildlife habitat.Perhaps the greatest threat that faces many species is the widespread destruction of habitat. Cutting down forests, farming, and development all result in loss of wildlife habitat. In areas where rare species live, habitat destruction can quickly force a species to extinction. By protecting habitat, entire communities of animals can be protected together naturally. Parks and reserves are now all too often the only habitats that are left untouched by habitat destruction.2. Reduce the threat of inv asive (入侵旳) species.The spread of non-native species has greatly reduced native populations around the world. Invasive species compete with native species for resources (资源) and habitat. They can even prey on native species directly, forcing native species towards extinction.3. Place decals (贴花纸) on windows.It is reported that as many as one billion birds in the United States die each year because of collisions (碰撞) with windows. You can help reduce the number of collisions simply by placing decals on the windows in your home and office.4. Slow down when driving.Many native animals have to live in developed areas and this means they must move in human-living areas. One of the biggest obstacles (障碍) to them is that created by roads. Roads divide habitat and present a constant risk to any animal attempting to cross from one side to the other. So when you’re out and about, slow down and keep an eye out for wildlife.67. What would be the best title for this passageA. How animals go to extinctionB. The importance of protecting wildlifeC. What to do to help save wildlifeD. How to protect wildlife habitat68. By writing the underlined sentence, the writer means that _____.A. more parks and reserves should be builtB. we should have more habitats free of destructionC. there is a need for improvement in parks and re-servesD. parks and reserves are good examples of protecting wildlife69. People are advised to put decals on windows to _____.A. decorate the houses and beautify the environmentB. protect the windows from birds hittingC. attract more birds to make homes nearbyD. avoid birds hitting the windows by mistake70. The underlined phrase “prey on〞 in the passage means _____.A. drive awayB. live withC. kill for foodD. fight withETens of thousands of theatre tickets will be given away to young people next year as part of a government campaign to inspire a lifelong love for theatre.The plan to offer free seats to people aged between 18 to 26 —funded with £ 2.5 million of taxpayers’ money —was announced yesterday by Andy Burnham, the Culture Secretary. It received a cautious welcome from some in the arts world,who expressed concern that the tickets may not reach the most underprivileged.The plan comes as West End theatres are enjoying record audiences, thanks largely to musicals teaming up with television talent shows. Attend ances reached 13.6 million in 2007,up 10 percent on 2006, itself a record year. Total sales were up 18 percent on 2006 to almost £ 470 million.One theatre source criticized the Government’ s priorities(优先考虑旳事) in funding free tickets when pensioners were struggling to buy food and fuel, saying: “I don’ t know why the Government’ s wasting money on this. The Young Vic, as The Times reported today,offers excellent performances at cheap prices.〞There was praise for the Government’ s plan from Dominic Cooke of t he Royal CourtTheatre, who said: “I support any move to get young people into theatre, and especially one that aims to do it all over England, not just in London.〞Ninety-five publicly funded theatres could apply for funding under the two-year plan. In return, they will offer free tickets on at least one day each week to 18 to 26-year-olds,first-come, first-served. It is likely to be on Mondays, traditionally a quiet night for the theatre.Mr. Burnham said: “A young person attending the theatre can find it an exciting experience, and be inspired to explore a new world. But sometimes people miss out on it because they fear it’ s ‘not for th em’ . It’ s time to change this perception.〞Jeremy Hunt, the Shadow Culture Secretary, said: “The real issue is not ge tting enthusiastic children into the theatre,but improving arts education so that more young people want to go in the first place. For too many children theatres are a no-go area.〞71.Critics of the plan argued that________.A. the theatres would be overcrowdedB. it would be a waste of moneyC. pensioners wouldn’t get free ticketsD. the government wouldn’t be able to afford it72.According to the supporters, the plan should________.A. benefit the television industryB. focus on producing better playsC. help increase the sales of ticketsD. involve all the young people in England73.Which of the following is TRUE about the planA. Ninety five theatres have received funding.B. Everyone will get at least one free ticket.C. It may not benefit all the young people.D. Free tickets are offered once every day.74.We can infer from the passage that in England________.A. many plays are not for young peopleB. many young people don’ t like theatreC. people know little about the planD. children used to receive good arts education75.According to the passage, the issue to offer free tickets to young people seems ________.A. controversialB. inspiringC. excitingD. unreasonable 参考答案。

双语安徒生童话:TwoBrothers两兄弟

双语安徒生童话:TwoBrothers两兄弟ON one of the Danish islands, where oldThingstones, the seats of justice of ourforefathers, still stand in the cornfields,and hugetrees rise in the forests of beech, there lies a littletown whose low houses are covered with red tiles. Inone of these houses strange things were brewingover the glowing coals on the open hearth; therewas a boiling going on in glasses, and a mixing anddistilling,while herbs were being cut up and pounded in mortars. An elderly man looked after itall.“One must only do the right thing,” he said; “yes, the right—the correct thing. Onemust find out the truth concerning every created particle, and kee p to that.”In the room with the good housewife sat her two sons; they were still small, but hadGREat thoughts. Their mother, too,had always spoken to them of right and justice, andexhorted them to keep to the truth, which she said was the countenance of the Lord in thisworld.the elder of the boys looked roguish and enterprising. He took a delight in reading of theforces of nature, of the sun and the moon; no fairy tale pleased him so much. Oh, howbeautiful it must be, he thought, to go on voyages of discovery, or to find out how toimitate the wings of birds and then to be able to fly! Yes, to find that out was the rightthing. Father was right,and mother was right—truth holds the world together.the younger brother was quieter,and buried himself entirely in his books. When he readabout Jacob dressing himself in sheep-skins to personify Esau,and so to usurp his brother'sbirthright,he would clench his little fist in anger against the deceiver; when he read of tyrantsand of the injusticeand wickedness of the world, tears would come into his eyes,and he wasquite filled with the thought of the justice and truth which must and would triumph.One evening he was lying in bed, but the curtains were not yet drawn close,and the lightstreamed in upon him; he had taken his book into bed with him,for he wanted to finishreading the story of Solon. His thoughts lifted and carried him away a wonderful distance; itseemed to him as if the bed had become a ship flying along under full sail. Was he dreaming,or what was happening? It glided over the rolling waves and across the ocean of time, and tohim came the voice of Solon; spoken in a strange tongue, yet intelligible to him, he heardthe Danish motto:“By law the land is ruled.”the genius of the human race stood in the humble room,bent down over the bed andimprinted a kiss on the boy's forehead:“Be thou strong in fame and strong in the battle oflife! With truth in thy heart fly toward the land of truth!”the elder brother was not yet in bed; he was standing at the window looking out at themist which rose from the meadows. They were not elves dancing out there, as their old nursehad told him; he knew better—they were vapours which were warmer than the air, and that iswhy they rose. A shooting star lit up the sky,and the boy's thoughts passed in a second fromthe vapours of the earth up to the shining meteor. The stars gleamed in the heavens, and itseemed as if long golden threads hung down from them to the earth.“Fly with me,” sang a voice, which the boy heard in his heart. And the mighty genius ofmankind,swifter than a bird and than an arrow—swifter than anything of earthly origin—carried him out into space,where the heavenly bodies arebound together by the rays thatpass from star to star. Our earth revolved in the thin air, and the cities upon it seemed to lieclose to each other. Through the spheres echoed the words:“What is near, what is far, when thou art lifted by the mighty genius of mind?”And again the boy stood by the window,gazing out,whilst his younger brother lay inbed. Their mother called them by their names:“Anders Sandoe” and “Hans Christian.”Denmark and the whole world knows them—the two brothers Orsted.。

When the last customer left KFC, it was already 10:30 pm. Adam, an 18-year-old college student, dragged himself home. He had been working at KFC for over a month that summer vacation.Entering his room, Adam found his younger brother Bill sitting on the edge of his bed with an uneasy expression on his face.“Sorry, Adam. I … I did something wrong,” Bill sprang up and said nervously.“What is it?”“This afternoon I sneaked (溜) out for a ride on your motorcycle and ac cidentally hit our neighbor Osman Brook’s car. I was so scared and I (I)hurried home in panic.”“Is the car seriously damaged?”“The left headlight got broken.”“It’s truly your fault and it’s really dangerous to ride a motorcycle at your age. Besides, it’s illegal,” Adam raised his voice, obviously annoyed. Hearing this, Bill lowered his head and bit his lips hard.“Anyway, it’s no use crying over spilt milk. I will deal with it tomorrow. Now you go to bed and have a good sleep.”The next morning when Adam got up, Bill was still sleeping soundly. Adam was more determined about what he ought to do as an elder brother.After breakfast, Adam took out all the money he had earned and went out of the house with it. In the yard he saw his motorcycle, on whose side the scratches (划痕) were clearly visible. Adam shook his head and sighed slightly. Then he squared his shoulders and quickened his pace to Osman’s house.When he arrived, he was welcomed by Osman’s wife Mary, who told him that Osman had gone to the garage to have his car repaired.“I have something important to tell him. Can I wait until he comes back?” Adam requested eagerly.“Of course. He should be home soon,” Mary invited Adam in, served him a cup of coffee and began chatting with him.After half an hour, the door opened and in came Osman. Having said hello to each other, Osman and Adam both sat down on the sofa.中文翻译:当最后一位顾客离开肯德基时,已经是晚上10点半了。
关于两兄弟的故事英语作文

关于两兄弟的故事英语作文Once upon a time, in a small village, there were two brothers. One was named Jack, and the other was named Tom. Jack was the older brother, and he was always responsible and serious. On the other hand, Tom was the younger brother, and he was carefree and full of energy.One sunny day, the brothers decided to go on an adventure in the nearby forest. They packed their bags with some snacks and water, and off they went. As they walked deeper into the forest, they stumbled upon a hiddentreasure chest. Jack's eyes widened with excitement, but Tom couldn't contain his laughter. He thought it was a prank.The brothers opened the chest and found it filled with gold coins and precious jewels. Jack's serious face turned into a wide smile, while Tom's laughter turned into astonishment. They couldn't believe their luck. Theydecided to take the treasure home and share it with theirfamily.Back in the village, news spread quickly about the brothers' discovery. People came from far and wide to congratulate them and ask for a share of the treasure. Jack, being responsible, carefully divided the treasure amongtheir family members, ensuring everyone received a fair share. Tom, being carefree, enjoyed the attention andparties that followed.As time went by, the brothers realized that thetreasure had brought both joy and trouble. Some people became jealous and started spreading rumors about them. Others tried to manipulate them for their own gain. Jack, being serious, tried to protect their family from these negative influences, while Tom, being carefree, brushed off the rumors and continued to enjoy life.Despite the challenges, the brothers remained close and supported each other. Jack's responsible nature helped them make wise decisions, while Tom's carefree attitude brought laughter and joy to their lives. Together, they learned theimportance of family and the true meaning of happiness.In the end, the treasure was not the most valuable thing they gained from their adventure. It was the bond between the two brothers that grew stronger and the lessons they learned along the way. They realized that life is not just about wealth and material possessions, but about the love and support we have for each other. And so, their story became a tale of two brothers who found true treasure in their hearts.。
高三英语课外阅读the two brothers

The Road Not TakenRobert FrostTwo roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth;Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally layIn leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way,I doubted if I should ever come back.I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere ages and ages hence:Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.1. What can you read from the poem named “The Road not Taken”?2. How do you like the choice made by the poet himself?3. Do you have the similar experiences or thoughts of life to share with us?The Two Brothers1 Two brothers set out on a journey together. At noon they lay down in a forest to rest. When they woke up they saw a stone lying next to them. There was something written on the stone, and they tried to make out what it was.2 "Whoever finds this stone," they read, "let him go straight into the forest at sunrise. In the forest a river will appear; let him swim across the river to the other side. There he will find a she-bear and her cubs. Let him take the cubs from her and run up the mountain with them, without once looking back. On the top of the mountain he will see a house, and in that house will he find happiness."3 When they had read what was written on the stone, the younger brother said:4 "Let us go together. We can swim across the river, carry off the bear cubs, take them to the house on the mountain, and together find happiness."5 "I am not going into the forest after bear cubs," said the elder brother, "and I advise you not to go. In the first place, no one can know whether what is written on this stone is the truth--perhaps it was written in jest. It is even possible that we have not read it correctly. In the second place, even if what is written here is the truth--suppose we go into the forest and night comes, and we cannot find the river. We shall be lost. And if we do find the river, how are we going to swim across it? It may be broad and swift. In the third place, even if we swim across the river, do you think it is an easy thing to take cubs away from a she-beer? She will seize us, and instead of finding happiness, we shall perish, and all for nothing. In the fourth place, even if we succeeded in carrying off the bear cubs, we could not run up a mountain without stopping to rest. And, most important of all, the stone does not tell us what kind of happiness we should find in that house. It may be that the happiness awaiting us there is not at all the sort of happiness we would want."6 "In my opinion," said the younger brother, "you are wrong. What is written on the stone could not have been put there without reason. And it is all perfectly clear. In the first place, no harm will come to us if we try. In the second place, if we do not go, someone else will read the inscription on the stone and find happiness, and we shall have lost it all. In the third place, if you do not make an effort and try hard, nothing in the world will succeed. In the fourth pace: I should not want it thought that I was afraid of anything."7 The elder brother answered him by saying: "The proverb says: 'In seeking great happiness small pleasures may be lost.' And also: 'A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.' "8 The younger brother replied: "I have heard: 'He who is afraid of the leaves must not go into the forest.' And also: 'Beneath a stone no water flows.' "9 Then the younger brother set off, and the elder brother remained behind.10 No sooner had the younger brother gone into the forest than he found the river, swam across it, and there on the other side was the she-beer, fast asleep. He took her cubs, and ran up the mountain without looking back. When he reached the top of the mountain the people came out to meet him with a carriage to take him into the city, where they made him their king.11 He ruled for five years. In the sixth year, another king, who was stronger than he, waged war against him. The city was conquered, and he was driven out.12 Again the younger brother became a wanderer, and he arrived one day at the house of the elder brother. The elder brother was living in a village and had grown neither rich nor poor. The two brothers rejoiced at seeing eachother, and at once began telling of all that had happened to them.13 "You see," said the elder brother, "I was right. Here I have lived quietly and well, while you, though you may have been a king, have seen a great deal of trouble."14 "I do not regret having gone into the forest and up the mountain," replied the younger brother. "I may have nothing now, but I shall always have something to remember, while you have no memories at all." Comprehension and Vocabulary1. Structural Information(Beginning of the story) Para.

two brothers

Once upon a time two brothers who lived on neighboring farms fell into conflict.
One morning there was a knock on John’s door. He opened it to find a man with a carpenter(木匠)’s toolbox. “I’m looking for a few days’ work,” he said. “Perhaps you would have a few could help with?”
The elder brother had to go to town on business, so he helped the carpenter get the materials ready, and then he was off. About sunset when John returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. John’s eyes opened wide. There was no fence there at all. It was a bridge—a bridge stretching from one side of the creek to the other! A fine piece of work, handrails(栏杆) and all and the neighbor, his younger brother, was coming across, his hand outstretched.
“You are quite a fellow to build this bridge after all I’ve said and done.” The two brothers stood at each end of the bridge, and then they met in the middle, taking each other’s hand, then embracing each other. They turned to see the carpenter raise his toolbox on his shoulder. “No, wait! Stay a few days. I’ve a lot of other projects for you,” said John. “I’d love to stay on.” The carpenter said, “but I have many more bridges to build.”

The Road Not Taken Robert FrostTwo roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo where it bent in the undergrowth;Then took the other, as just as fair,And having perhaps the better claim,Because it was grassy and wanted wear;Though as for that the passing thereHad worn them really about the same,And both that morning equally layIn leaves no step had trodden black.Oh, I kept the first for another day!Yet knowing how way leads on to way,I doubted if I should ever come back.I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere ages and ages hence:Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.1. What can you read from the poem named “The Road not Taken”?2. How do you like the choice made by the poet himself?3. Do you have the similar experiences or thoughts of life to share with us?The Two Brothers1 Two brothers set out on a journey together. At noon they lay down in a forest to rest. When they woke up they saw a stone lying next to them. There was something written on the stone, and they tried to make out what it was.2 "Whoever finds this stone," they read, "let him go straightinto the forest at sunrise. In the forest a river will appear; let him swim across the river to the other side. There he will find a she-bear and her cubs. Let him take the cubs from her and run up the mountain with them, without once looking back. On the top of the mountain he will see a house, and in that house will he find happiness."3 When they had read what was written on the stone, the younger brother said:4 "Let us go together. We can swim across the river, carry off the bear cubs, take them to the house on the mountain, and together find happiness."5 "I am not going into the forest after bear cubs," said theelder brother, "and I advise you not to go. In the first place, no one can know whether what is written on this stone is the truth--perhaps it was written in jest. It is even possible that we have not read it correctly. In the second place, even if what is written here is the truth--suppose we go into the forest and night comes, and we cannot find the river. We shall be lost. And if we do find the river, how are we going to swim across it? It may be broad and swift. In the third place, even if we swim across the river, do you think it is an easy thing to take cubs away from a she-beer? She will seize us, and instead offinding happiness, we shall perish, and all for nothing. In the fourth place, even if we succeeded in carrying off the bear cubs, we could not run up a mountain without stopping to rest. And, most important of all, the stone does not tell us what kind of happiness we should find in that house. It may be that the happiness awaiting us there is not at all the sort of happiness we would want."6 "In my opinion," said the younger brother, "you are wrong. What is written on the stone could not have been put there without reason. And it is all perfectly clear. In the first place, no harm will come to us if we try. In the second place, if we do not go, someone else will read the inscription on the stone and find happiness, and we shall havelost it all. In the third place, if you do not make an effort and try hard, nothing in the world will succeed. In the fourth pace: I should not want it thought that I was afraid of anything."7 The elder brother answered him by saying: "The proverb says:'In seeking great happiness small pleasures may be lost.' And also: 'A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.' "8 The younger brother replied: "I have heard: 'He who is afraidof the leaves must not go into the forest.' And also: 'Beneath a stone no water flows.' "9 Then the younger brother set off, and the elder brother remained behind.10 No sooner had the younger brother gone into the forest than he found the river, swam across it, and there on the other side was theshe-beer, fast asleep. He took her cubs, and ran up the mountain without looking back. When he reached the top of the mountain the people came out to meet him with a carriage to take him into the city, where they made him their king.11 He ruled for five years. In the sixth year, another king, who was stronger than he, waged war against him. The city was conquered, and he was driven out.12 Again the younger brother became a wanderer, and he arrived one day at the house of the elder brother. The elder brother was living in a village and had grown neither rich nor poor. The two brothersrejoiced at seeing each other, and at once began telling of all that had happened to them.。
